Isn't that the way it always is? I don't think I have ever seen a couple, (myself included), who are newly moving in together who doesn't have a lot of plans for their future...so much hope and dreams to be fulfilled....
But, as the future unfolds, and the dreams don't come to fruition, I think that, even more than the actual person, the loss of the dreams that we invested ourselves in become the source of our greatest pain...and mourning....
